Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use T 329V1, T329V1, STMA 8013, TMC 5254) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C5RS-7950-1 03B T-329-V1 and C5RS-7951-2 03B T-329-V1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
